This property was really nice! The staff was super friendly and helpful and it has great onsite amenities such as a day spa, pool, and pretty decent dining. The area around is a little sketchy but Durban is on the more developing side of living.

The hotel is right on the beach with excellent access to it and a great view. The beach is very busy and can be noisy, so maybe not the best place if you’re after a quiet get away. But, if you want a hopping place, it’s that. VERY helpful people who went out of their way to make sure our stay went well.

We were in Durban for a junior tennis competition. So there were a few of us staying at the hotel. I had read the reviews about staff friendliness; but I suspected that they might be slightly untrue, given that the reviews were always so good. Oh my god - the staff are amazing. I have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world - and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is just as fantastic. Yes - sure - there are more presentable parts of the beach further north up the coast - that is probably true - however, this area is just fine. Much more exciting. Much more in touch with the locals. And the hotel could not get closer to the beach. In fact - I think it is the closest hotel to the beach, in the whole of Durban. And all the rooms have sea views. And because the hotel literally looks onto the promenade - if you love watching people, you will not get bored at looking out of your window for hours on end watching the activity below. On top of it all - great restaurant and room service in house. Plus some more places to eat just minutes away. And having a full kitchen in the room is also a massive bonus. We can't wait to go back in a few months time.

Although the facilities and the room are great, it is the staff that made our stay. Nothing was ever too much and always eager to assist. Friendly and knowledgeable, have already recommended to my daughter who is visiting Durban in a month’s time.

There wasnt enough parking and the door to the apartment wasnt easy to lock.i also had issue with my breakfast as my booking was done with breakfast but i had to go to the reception twice for them to give me access to breakfast as it was not reflecting on the hotels system.

This location is one of the unknown gems on the Durban coastline. Boasting a 4 star rating they live up to the hype. The staff are extremely friendly, the units are clean and have an amazing view. Their in house restaurant are efficient and an excuse to stay in. Definitely recommended

it was a truly amazing stay, everyone was so kind from the beginning till the end of the stay. we ended up going fishing and the restaurant allowed us to keep our fish in the freezer till it was time for us to leave. when we asked for the room to be cleaned / towels to be changed everything was done on spot. the thing that made us the most comfortable is the fact that we felt safe during the whole stay , with this whole covid-19 story , there was senatiser available throughout the hotel. thank yous so much for making us feel at home. we miss it already.

Schöne Lage mit prächtiger Aussicht auf das Meer. Das man an der Reception nicht gewusst hat ob das bei ebookers gebuchte Zimmer schon bezahlt ist, hat uns ziemlich erstaunt. Die Info von ebookers es sei bei dieser Unterkunft keine Reception vorhanden, ist falsch.
